G'day family.

Thanks for the heaps of photo's you sent me this week, man there was a lot, but i feel like i'm not missing anything when you keep me filled in like that. fanks. well my week was very good not gonna be as entertaining as the other past few emails but i'll try my best to call upon my memory and try and fill you in. I'm still in Glenroy ward and the work is still going great. and Elder Zabriskie and I are still together and we are awesome, were pretty much the most envied companionship in the mission, partly cause we get on so well. i feel bad for others who don't like there comps cause man the work is so fun when you get a long and just have fun. it really impeads the work. thats probably why we are having such rdiculously amazing success. people see how happy we are and they want that so they listen. it's good. so this week we focused on our Fijian Dolly, and her Daughter Radika, they are the most prepared people i've found so far. and while in a lesson this week as we were teachignher a lesson she taught us a valuable lesson, you see dolly enjoys her Coffee and this week we taught her the Word of Wisdom (D+C89) and as we taught it to her we addressed the coffee issue, and we asked her if she could try and "cut back" in the next few days and also try and quit before her baptisms and what she said to us shocked us. so we asked her if she could start to cut back and she said "No, you see I want to fallow god, and if he says no coffee then you need to take my coffee away, i love coffee but i love god more" and me and Elder Zabriskie were just blown away, so we took off her like three huge tins of coffee and she's been fine so far. her Baptism is this saturday she has asked me to baptise her and elder Zabriskie will baptise her daughter. they are great we saw them this morning. and she is loved by the ward. the only kind of hiccup is her two year old... he is... uh well lets just say he's two and we'll all get the picture. other than her nothing special happened this week. everything went well this week and we moved into a new house today the address is 15/9 Chris Ct if you all want to google map it, oh and could you send me Karen's email i wanna forward my emails to her unless you guys are dioing it anyways. ok well Thanks for everything and i love you and and be good. pray always.
